Dear Marcell Darius/pp7/AjGreen Fanboys.

I was wrong.

They would have been hella good draft picks as well.

Darius is tearing it up in Buff

AJgreen is a machine

and PP7 is looking to be a player on the rise.

This could be one of the better top 5 1st rounds in recent history.

pp7 is only making an impact on special teams.

Yeah, pp7 is getting abused at corner - heard a week or two ago that he has allowed almost all of the passes thrown to the man he was covering to be completed.

Won't be surprised to see Peterson moved to safety in the near future.

3 punt return TDs including a huge one that one the game in OT yesterday. I'd like to see how he develops as a cover corner

It's starting to become every single year now that this board becomes infatuated with an LSU defensive back, to the point where every draft related thread is littered with charlotte observer message board rejects and d-level posters raving about their measurables and shoehorning sizzle phrases like "he's a BEASSSTT!" or "PLAYMAKING GAME-CHANGING DAY ONE STARTER". So far Peterson is still a long way from living up to what 70% of this board projected he would be - shut-down cornerback jesus. In '07 it was the same goddamn thing with Landry, and now it looks like it's going to be Claiborne in 2012.

Unless they can cover a WR for 30 seconds consistently, I don't think a top corner prospect is going to help our lacking pass rush

I said a long time ago that Peterson will be one of the best SS in the league in a few years. I stand by that statement.

    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
